Month: June 2008

And here I am again with yet another update for today. Guess what the postman brought after lunch? The June issue of Harper’s Bazaar Singapore. Luckily I was home because he needed my signature. I especially bought this magazine because it features additional pictures of that absolutely gorgeous new photoshoot by Peter Lindbergh. The editorial is called ‘Le Magnifique Marion’ – what a good title, eh? My top picks are scans #3 and #6. Enjoy!

Kindly do not redistribute these scans at another Marion Cotillard fan site as they were obtained exclusively for ‘Magnifique Marion Cotillard’. Thank you.

Thank you everyone who emailed me about this and posted links in the forum. I’ve now added some additional pictures of Marion Cotillard as Billie Frechette taken on the set of ‘Public Enemies’ to the gallery. Some of those date back to the end of April and the newer batch is from last week. Doesn’t she look sublime? I can’t wait for this movie. The gallery now contains a total of 24,000 (!) pictures.

I’ve once again taken up the task of completing the ‘new’ gallery. Although I haven’t worked on it since early April don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten. After today’s updates the gallery now contains the complete event galleries for the years 1998 – 2006. Not only have I transferred all the photos from the old gallery but I’ve also sorted any additional pictures I could find on my hard disk and uploaded them for your viewing pleasure – a total of 811 pictures! Stay tuned for the 2007/2008 pictures.

Earlier this week ‘Chloé‘ was released on DVD in France (Buy). The TV movie from 1996 comes with no extras and no subtitles – just the plain film in the original French language. The movie was hard to come by up until now and no doubt because of Marion Cotillard’s recent Oscar win France 2 decided to release this film on DVD now.

Note how the DVD cover reads “Marion Cotillard, Oscar and César for Best Actress in ‘La Vie en Rose’, in her first role. Featuring the music of ‘L’hymne à l’amour’ by Edith Piaf”. It must be stated however, that although Chloé was indeed one of Marion’s first roles it was not the first. That’d be the role of Lori Bellian in an episode of ‘Highlander’ – also directed by Chloé director Dennis Berry.

I’ve had a low quality version of the movie for a while but never managed to make screencaptures from it. Now that the film is available on DVD I couldn’t resist buying it even though I have to admit that this is my absolute least favourite movie out of Marion’s resumee. Nontheless, she gives a very strong, powerful and harrowing performance, really remarkable – especially considering she was only just 20 years old at the time and at the beginning of her acting career.

Earlier this week Variety reported that ‘Ondine‘ is set to start shooting in West Cork, Ireland this July now that financing and main cast have been set. Who’s playing the title character? The girl caught in the fishernet thought to be a mythological sea nymph (Ondine)? Not Marion Cotillard but newcomer Alicja Bachleda.
